at the "new york post." steve: vote to save new york. vote for former police officer, this man right here. ainsley: eric adams. steve: he is their best choice. ainsley: used to be a police officer. steve: right for many years because the city is under siege. i told you last week i was driving through times square at 4:00 in the morning i see a couple of guys fist fighting. they are going after each other. they are trying to kill each other. i'm trying to get out of there. there is security, times square security, harasser that is just standing there watching it. nobody is doing anything. ainsley: avoid times square, avoid the subway especially at night. brian: sounds great for tourism especially at night avoid times square. brian: prostitution is now legal in new york and so is pot which everyone seems to be taking advantage of as i walk to the train every day. lack at some of these stats, it's not just new york.

atlanta, homicides up 58%. you have portland up 533%. you got chicago is up -- you see chicago is up they say 5%. it's got to be a lot more when you look at the shootings up 18%. steve: the reason chicago is only up 5% is because it's been up so big over the last year or. brian: look at portland. ainsley: chicago last weekend 65% were wounded. 10% were killed last weekend alone. jen psaki is saying it's not because of defunding the police. it's not because of all the protests she says it's gun violence. >> is there a concern at the white house there could be increase in crime in summer with the pandemic lifting. >> there has been a it rise in crime the last five years but really the last 18 months so it's an opportunity for the president to speak to what he is

going to address this. >> will he be approaching this differently than he did in 1994. >> can gun violence you expect he will speak to and this his commitment to continuing to address gun violence and gun safety in the country. he has spoken himself to differences, things he would stand by. things he might do differently. but i wouldn't see this as a response to that as much as a conveying to the american people what he's going to do now to help address the rise in crime we have seen over the last year and a half. steve: see, that's important. she mentioned a couple dates there she was talking about we have seen crime increase over the last five years. that is attributed to the ferguson effect when michael brown was killed by that police officer in ferguson, missouri about five years ago. then she is talking about how things got started about 18 months ago. she is referring to the fact that they're attributing, democrats, it has become a talking point crime with covid. so when people started getting

locked down. they started acting up. not -- she is not talking about how the protests and -- which in some cases dissended into riots and lawlessness after the george floyd summer of protests. she is not referring to that. that had nothing to do with it. but covid or guns. that's what the administration is planning. brian: they are trying to split the difference. they know that crime in america is a cause of concern for everyone in america. they know that it phrase defund the police according to their own autopsy on the democratic side did more damage to the democratic fortunes in the last election than anything else. so, what do you do? you blame the gun. on wednesday, president biden will be addressing crime. not like he did in 1994, which he said he learned a lot. he made mistakes he would have done things differently when he made some statements and he said the result was cracking down on more minorities than he ever expected. he's going to look at the surge in guns in america. that's not the answer. now, on the democratic side. they have had two special

elections. one in new mexico and one -- they ran -- republicans ran hard on about -- hard on crime and talked about law and order. they still lost. and in philadelphia, the district attorney race and this d.a. is permissive as the one out in los angeles, he won, even though he was saying i'm going to let everybody out of prison and i'm going to be easy on crime. so, in one way the last election told everyone america cares about law and order. in a couple of special elections they didn't. ainsley: it's interesting what's going to happen in this next election because there is a story out this morning saying that most people in america, including democrats, want you to show an i.d. when you vote. now, we're all worried about crime. in cities all across the country. people are worried about immigration. these are three big issues that the democrats are facing. that's why the democrats are changing their tune. you have stacey abrams change hearing tune about voter i.d. you have raphael warnock changing his tune about voter i.d.

they know these are the issues you care about. keeping your family safe. making sure people who live here paying taxes here are here illegal lit and voting rights. you want to make sure people don't cheat that your vote counts. >> that the integrity of the election with upheld. steve: the white house saying it's because of covid and guns and then you have got somebody over on msnbc, apparently a contributor there who has a really unique way of looking at the violence in this country. ainsley: obama. task force. steve: the problem with america as crime skyrockets do you know whose fault it is? it's the fault of the police. watch. >> this rise in crime is not the faulty the movement. it's actually the fault of the police. why should we keep funding systems and institutions that keep rendering themselves ineffective. it's about ensuring that the services that people need to ensure safe communities from the

ground up are actually being funded and resourced to their full capacity this rise in crime is not the fault of the movement. it's actually the fault of the police and this has been our point all along that we should be talking about gun control. livable wages, fair houses, education. that's where we should be moving the money to to ensure truly safe streets. steve: to get rid of the violence that we are seeing right now you have got increased livable wage, fair housing, education. that's where the money should be moving, to she says. brian: right. there is anything you should be doing, you should be realizing that a year from now when we first brought up criminal justice reform or police reform, there was a different feeling in the country. even though it was just george floyd. it was horrific and we know derek chauvin is in jail we imagine for life. but now people look around and they see the police defunded in portland. defunded a billion dollars in new york and philadelphia and all these major cities and they see the result and then they try vilifying police officers, now

they can't get any. and now they are looking at life without police. it's almost as if you break up with somebody, you think it's a good move and then after a year you lock around and go wow, my life is worse. steve: i'm so lonely. brian: thanks for playing along. you are not saying you are lonely you are playing along. steve: filling in the blanks. wake up alone you are alone. brian: i tried breaking up with the police and it's not working out for anybody. as james clyburn said over the weekend, defund the police makes absolutely no sense. i just want better quality police, better training, defund doesn't work. ainsley: larry elder said kamala harris is going down there to guatemala. she is worried about the root causes there. what about the root causes when it comes to this issue here? he said you point out defund the police movement. black lives matter, the lie that police are engaging in systemic racism. police officers are now under the fear of being accused of racism. they are pulling back. then he says surprise, surprise crime has gone up.

steve: ainsley, you cited that poll we are going to talk about next hour regarding we the people act which is going to go down in claims today in the senate. ainsley: showing an i.d. brian: deservedly. so. steve: 80% of americans say you should show an i.d. if you want to vote. that was monmouth. this is fox news. compared to a year ago, is there for or less crime in the country? yes. 73% of you say yes. and, unfortunately, a majority of you say there is more in your local area, which is so sad because people -- you always want to feel like your home is safe. unfortunately now, and you've seen the pictures of the random gun violence here in new york where people just get popped on the streets and like eric adams volunteer got stabbed while enforce out canvassing. it's just scary to be alone on the streets of new york city these days. and that's why as tourists come back. i wonder how many people are

actually going to go to the tourist spots. brian: last thing to add, it's not just about crime on the streets and the pandemic and joblessness and racial anger, whatever you want to say it is, are it's also a matter places like new york, no cash bail so it's almost to detain someone so you don't arrest someone. people get out right away. permissive d.a.s that want to let people out of prison that are there already. they're literally close rikers island and not putting them in other prisons they are putting them on the streets. incredible. if you could not go out of your way to destroy cities in america even if you are doing continue tension nally. ainsley: they are expecting crime to go up this summer. speaking of this summer. the tokyo olympics and there is an athlete. we used to talk about kneeling for the national anthem and now. brian: those were the good old days. now this athlete wants to burn the american flag not allegedly, she did say it on social media back in 2020 last year. she is a bmx freestyle rider diviewstled represent the u.s.

olympics in the summer games. she is a transgender woman. her name is chelsea wolf. this was a journalist found this old tweet from march 25th, 2020. and it's now been deleted. but this is what the tweet says my goal to win the olympics so i can burn a u.s. flag on the podium. this is what they focus on during a pandemic, hurting trans children. steve: it was just a week or so ago, it was announced she was named an alternate on the u.s.a.'s bmx event in tokyo. when asked about her previous comment on facebook that she quite wisely took down but quite unwisely said, she issued this post to fox news regarding that anyone who thinks that i don't care about the united states is sorely mistaken. one of the reasons why i worked so hard to represent the united states in international competition is to show the world that this country has morals and values. that it's not all of the bad things that we're known for.

i don't know exactly what that is referring to. i take a stand against fascism because i care about this country. brian: wow, that was the most circuitous explanation that probably was not worth writing i have ever seen. so all the bad things say about the country? that is really her mindset. america is such a bad place. i'm going to join. it's really got some good qualities and i will try to get to that later. michael wore the red, white, and blue for a different reason a captain of the u.s. hockey team in 1980 won the gold medal. steve: made a great movie. brian: they never played another game after that. i don't think he ever considered burning the flag. i don't want to donald trump to conclusions we will get his reaction to that tweet and explanation. steve: that is crazy that could be one of the people representing the united states in tokyo this summer. brian: fantastic. steve: it is about 6:15 here in the east and jillian joins us on the mezzanine level with other

headlines. jillian: that's right, good morning. we do begin with sad story and fox news alert. tributes pouring in for a colorado police officer killed in the line of duty. it gordon was a 1-year veteran of the force. he was shot at a popular shopping district outside of denver monday. two other people died including the shooter. police have not revealed a possible motive. fellow officers and community members paid respects during a procession last night. fox weather now. 40 million americans are on alert for severe storms across the northeast. the system is the same one that's spawned an ef-3 tornado in the chicago suburbs injuring at least 8 people and causing widespread damage.

steve: instead of thanksgiving day off. the vote was 8-1. you know what? that was a dumb idea. let's all get on board. what were we thinking? brian: they are moving to get columbus day back. they want it back on the calendar. steve: they have it back on randolph. ainsley: i like how they took a vote and majority won. brian: first they have to yell and create harvick. i just think that when stories like jillian just said people say well, that's a republican operative trying to move a cancel culture forward. no, there is no operative a bunch of parents saying you have got to be kidding me. we deserve to have these dates on the calendar as tradition would have it we don't have to blow up everything in america all the time. steve: why is it so bad to say independence day? who does independence day, the 4th of july who does that anger? ainsley: it is 17 minutes after the top of the hour. portland is hoping to change its image follow year of all the riots and protests. watch this. >> you get it, we're not perfect

our next guest has been covering the unrest in portland for more than a year now. town hall.com writer julio is here to react. good morning to you, julio. >> good morning. ainsley: did that do it for you? did all of a sudden did you decide you are going to take your family to portland? >> no. there is a reason why i only go to portland for work. this is unfortunate that they are having to resort to people -- it to beg to people to come to the city because the fact remains that portland is prone to riots and on top of the crime wave that a lot of other cities are experiencing, and so obviously people are people are going to be hesitant to come to the city that's because the city officials at a minimum tolerate the riot and at worse they did encourage some of them. you had mayor ted wheeler he didn't call out antifa by name until the beginning of this year. this is not at all surprising that, you know, people are going to have to try to kind of resort to doing these types of ads to

get people back to the city. but, again, you can't really blame people for not wanting to go there. ainsley: when you were there on the ground i know you came to our show a lot during that time period, did you think all the rioting and protests and violence, did the rioting and protesting and defund the police lead to all the violence? >> i certainly think it's definitely a contributing factor. look. they wanted to defund the police and the city abolished its gun crimes task force. what did we see? we saw increase in gun crime. so, no, and on top of that, the antifa groups there, they like to wear down the police why rioting night after night after night. so that leaves cops to leave the force and retire early and so, you know, i think it definitely is a contributing factor. it's not the only one but obviously, you know, portland is not the only city experiencing this type of thing unfortunately. this is the long-term consequences of these riots. because obviously the short-term is the immediate destruction and damage but the effects of riots, and all the rest is definitely long term and unfortunately

innocent people get caught in the crosshairs. ainsley: we interviewed all these shop owners who had their windows busted in and had to close down because they were losing money because of all the riots on the street. this week or last week we reported that 50 members of the police riot squad had to quit. they said we are done. if y'all aren't going to support us we are out of here. homicides up over last year. shootings up 126%. isn't it common sense you take away the police, you don't fund them or support them well then the pad people know police are not going to be out there they can do whatever they want? >> absolutely. and we saw this with new york city also dropping charges against the rioters and looters from over there. there definitely is a cause and effect. so obviously if people fee embolden to attack police at night through riots then they will feel emboldened to do more serious crimes as well. so what i always in my coverage in these situations is to highlight the fact that innocent people who have nothing to do with the police are often the

first ones to suffer the immediate consequences of just lawlessness. ainsley: they can put out as many ads as they want. if there are no consequences for crime they will see these numbers come up. thank you for joining us. >> you are welcome. ainsley: the crime is intensifying and mainstream media has a lot to say about it? >> school boards, teachers like you said are being being targeted by conservative provocateurs. >> this is parent led backlash at the grassroots level. >> it's manufactured. >> next guest studied the topic for several years and people are sick and tired of this radical shift. ♪

christian principles. >> critical race theory like all the critical studies comes from a marxist perspective this idea you divide the world up oppressors and oppressed. in critical race theory white people, white america and the america itself is the oppressor and all people of color and minorities are the oppressed. and when you see that term critical. you need to realize that the purpose of it is a revolutionary political change. so, this absolutely has absolutely nothing to do with and is contrary to biblical principles and it's obvious when you read the literature. brian: you said christian whether a christian does not want justin? what christian does not want to be pandemic theisman if we will if they are oppressed. some of the things tap into christianity and somehow that message gets mixed up.

>> it does when you hear jocial justice and equity. who wants to be these things? nobody wants to be racist. you hear terms anti-racist yeah, that's great. you don't realize that term anti-racist is rooted in this new marxist ideology. and that ultimately anti-racism is not the same as not being a racist. it is about working to change and overthrow infrastructure. brian: so so you also write crt reject liberalism and meritocracy. the feeling is i'm not going to be able to get anywhere because of the color of my skin and background and gender. >> yeah. the idea is that the game is rigged that white people created whiteness and used white supremacy in order to engrain white privilege. therefore, the idea that things happen based on merit, according to cr. >> it is a complete farce. that's just them saying that the game is rigged.

racism is everywhere, it's baked into the system. america is racist everywhere all the time. brian: what is your sense that people on the outside see politics in everything and they say well, this is a republican culture war. this is manufactured. this isn't real. in fact, president obama said last week in an interview, critical race theory is a big thing for republicans now, who knew? and he laughed. >> yeah, it's interesting two of the biggest best sellers in recent history are robin d'angelo white fragility and kendi how to be a anti-racist. both steeped in critical race theory. those are the popular promoters of critical race theory. and a lot of these programs that say they are not teaching critical race theory are actually using these books and books like them in order to promote the ideology but they don't use the name. brian: i notice people standing up in local towns to their board of education.

it's harvard to imagine that coming from washington or a super pac. especially as you point out the two biggest books in the country over the last 5, 10 years are about critical race theory. so how would republicans, do they buy the books and then fight the books? it makes no sense. but pick up your book "fault lines" it's on sale now. dr. votey bachmann jr. you know america. you left for a while and came back and able to see how we changed. thanks so much for joining us. >> it's my pleasure. thank you for having me. brian: you got it let's check in with meteorologist adam klotz for the weather forecast outside. adam: good morning, brian. currently dry in new york city. rain is on the way though and cooler air with it let's dive right in and take a look at those maps. temperatures up and down the east coast hanging there in the 70s. look how cool it is in the midwest. 54 degrees early in chicago. 52 degrees in minneapolis. that's all happening right along a frontal boundary we are currently seeing showers sweeping across towards the

increase over what had been planned giving parents up to $112,000 a year as much as 3600 bucks per child in $300 monthly payments starting in july. next guest calls it the gamut.

new mexico next guest charles payne making money. steve: you have got little kids you will say hey, this is really good for me. >> well, here's the thing. all of these programs were designed to help americans during desperate times. the roots of them go back to gerald ford in 1957 with the earned income tax credit at the time we had the social security tax spiking food prices, spiking gasoline prices. and then ronald reagan actually expanded it and with the child tax credit ivanka trump and marco rubio led the trump administration to expand again these were all during really tough difficult times. operative word here earned income tax. we were trying to help people who were working but not making enough to live, you know, within the parameters of society in a high inflationary period or desperate times. this aims to pay people extra

money for not working and this is where it becomes very dangerous. if it doesn't replace anything if you are on medicaid or snap or on wic or food stamps or section 8 housing it doesn't impact any of that you don't have to work. you don't have to try to work. so, what we're going to do is we are going to get young women, you know, young ladies who are going to be sitting around, maybe saying i'm not sure what my economic opportunities are, you already laid out some of the numbers. if you start to do the math on this. it becomes a very attractive alternative to try to make it in a society and you guys have been doing these stories all morning long with crt and other things that you perceive may not like you or no matter who you are you may perceive the odds are just tough. if i go down this path, every time i have another child i get more money. every single time. now, of course, this somewhat breaks my heart because i saw it i saw the great welfare society

firsthand. i lived in the midst of it. it is a heart break insidious and evil thing because the people that you are -- argue that you are helping, you never give them an alternative to say hey, i was born with some god given gifts. i want to dig in. i want to find what they're. i want to cultivate them. i want to nurture them. you never do that if you decide to go down this path, more likely than not, you're not going to. there will be some success stories that might be able to-to-spin out of this. for the most are part what you are doing is deal saying i'm going to give up all my hopes, dreams and ambitions for these paychecks that come in all the time and i will vote for the people who he give them to me but i will never be able to go down the path where i might have found something a lot more genuine, something a lot more satisfying and something a lot more important. steve: and, charles, critics are saying the government should not be paying people to have more children. >> of course not. i just laid out the main reason.

listen, taxpayers are obviously going to be frustrated. if you are working in a job and not making a lot of money and this is alternative why the hell work? why get in the labor system at all? why start at the bottom of the ladder, you know, if you don't see a way up, this is a clear path to steady income and, again though, but i'm telling you, more often than not, if you go down this path, you have signed off. it is a falsian deal. signed off on what better life for you and start to create a cycle. a cycle of poverty where now your children may also go down this path as well. you know, all of these programs, steve, start off as temporary. every single one of them is temporary. steve: all right. excellent point. >> they are trying to make this permanent. steve: they are. joe biden would like that. charles, thank you very much. we will watch you later today. ♪ are waking up to what's possible

ripped jeans and t-shirt. brian: right if only i was a country music star. steve: let's talk about on this new day about what is going on. down in washington, d.c. you have heard a lot being talked about the we the people act. and that already passed the house back in february to essentially federalize the elections and change election laws. in a uniform way. it is not going to pass the senate because you need 60 senators to go along to start the debate. because it's not a money bill. you can't do it through 50 snrots reconciliation. they need 60. and there is not one republican who is for this. and in fact, some democrats, including joe manchin, reaffirmed look, if they want to try to pass this with getting rid of the filibuster, i stand against that so the democrats went get this. and they won't get the dropping of the filibuster either. brian: so, go ahead. ainsley: and stacey abrams one of the many democrats, there was

also raphael warnock who was against showing an i.d. when you go to the polls. she said back in april we have to surrenderer our personal information if we do that we risk identity theft. 200,000 georgia residents don't have ids and they are voters. and that was her tune for a while. but then there is this new poll monmouth university poll they asked everyone do you support showing an i.d. when you go to the poll? and 80% of the people said they support it the majority of democrats say they support it the majority of independence, the majority of republicans so now they are seeing this poll. they are realizing their message doesn't. steve: and hasn't she changed her? ainsley: she changed her tune. she realized this is not what the voter's and this is not going to get passed my agenda. so she changed her tune and now she is saying no one has ever objected to having to prove who you are to vote. been a past -- been a part of

the nation's history since the inception of voting she says. so then "the washington post" is getting slammed because they are saying stacey abrams and the democrats they are evolving on voter i.d. no, they are changing their entire stance because they want it to pass and they though that's what the american people want. brian: basically advocating for it such a joke. i don't know why they think that's a good business model. 71% think inn. person voting should be easier as well. do you think voting by mail should be easier just 50%. should be up. 9% say make it harder. a lot has to do with americans being on the same page. this is why. if you vote, you don't want your vote canceled out by somebody who doesn't belong there. so what republicans have done in 30 separate states is they have reined in some of the pandemic rules. they had to losen up a lot of these rules in the states because of the pandemic. people afraid to go out. couldn't go out. they loosened up the early voting situation. joe manchin looked at the

severity of this left wing proposal the for the people act that the house passed on a simple majority he said i can't deal with this. i'm going to vote against it instead of sitting on the sidelines i will offer a memo. the memo is i'm going to list six things i might be able to vote for this if you change. one of which was you have got to keep voter i.d. in there and you can use utility bill if you need to. they also said when it comes to redistricting we want to do -- he would te'o agree to do it in washington. really? you want washington deciding how florida, texas and montana are going to vote and what regions and what's going to be districts? that's against everything that our founding fathers thought to give the states the rights to conduct the votes for our national election only one they vote for as one candidate and that's the president of the united states. but republicans have got to do now they have to go out of their way to push back when people say republicans want to restrict voting. no, they want to organize it. they want everyone to vote but do it in an organized way. they don't want dead people voting. if you left georgia and went to

nevada, you shouldn't be voting in georgia. they clean up the rolls every two years. on average, america every voting cycle, the average american moves every two years. so republicans just sit there when democrats say well you just don't want people to vote. minorities to vote, they don't come back with anything. they have got to go out of think way no, it has nothing to do with minorities, nothing to do with not wanting to vote. you have got to do it so right way. super pac write a check for $20 million to push voting in america on democratic principles and push back against republicans try to marginalize them as racist. steve: you know, ainsley, to your point. 80% of americans say it's okay to have voter i.d. which is something that the democrats have been against for aening lo time and republicans have been for. look, you need i.d. to get into this building. you need i.d. to pick up baseball tickets at the will call. brian: to get a vaccine. steve: to buy benadryl. ainsley: you are right about that. it's also, we just want the

elections to be fair. if the democrat is fairly elected to office, then that is what americans. brian: shouldn't they say it in they don't go out of the way to say no. ainsley: yesterday we interviewed the governor of georgia he said we wasn't through our roster more than 100,000 beam in on our rosser that either were dead or weren't living in their households. if we send out ballots to those homes, then they get in the hands of someone who lives there now. and we can't trust that that is who -- if that's not the ballot that has their name on it then they need to throw it in the trash. the concern is some people are worried that they want so badly their candidate to win they will take all of the ballot that were mailed to them, even if they are for people that don't live in their houses and they will mail them in. people just want it to be fair. steve: my point in bringing up the 80% want there to be i.d. is there should be standards. however, the way that the federal government was set up was the states will figure out

how each state runs their voting and that's why. ainsley: federal government. steve: you are right. that's why there were all these different rules for 50 different states during covid. all right, we kind of have covid in our rear view mirror going forward. states are trying to adjust going forward. for the next election. democrats to your point there are democrats on tv and elsewhere slamming republicans saying they are trying to stop people from voting which their talking point. watch. >> these policies have one purpose and one purpose only, meaning it harder for younger, poorer, nonwhite and typically democratic voters to have-to access the ballot, shame, shame, shame. >> and this is why when the states start to enact these will voter suppression laws what i call steal your vote laws the federal government comes in and voting rights act was all about. >> what we're trying to do is

preserve democracy and what republican legislatures and governors are doing in the most disgraceful way imaginable is to try to deny people of color, young people, poor people the right to vote. people with disabilities. steve: see that's what the democrats do and that's why there is going to be senate showdown today and it's going to be shot down. mitch mcconnell said yesterday this bill is a simple power play, quote. they made abundantly clear the real driving force behind this is the desire to rig the rules of the american elections permanently. permanently in democrats' favor. that's why the senate will give this disastrous proposal no quarter. brian: this is the exact nun. republicans in 8 states enacted 30 laws addressing voting. affecting 15% of the voter rolls. 36 million people overall. bottom line is, republicans have to push back just as strong, and make sure the message doesn't get muddled because it matters so much. so if republicans have a good election in 2022, fast forward, well, they wouldn't pass the

voter -- this is so dangerous because now you have everyone doubting the results of an election. steve: and that's what the talking point is going to be going forward. after shot down in the senate. democrats all those people you just saw on tv are going to go the republicans kept us from fixing the elections and what do we have? we still have voter suppression. that's what they are going to say even though that is not the case. ainsley: that's a big talking point. there is also critical race theory. school is almost out for summer. some of your kids are already at home. and so, parents are getting together in some of these school districts around the country talking about critical race theory and how are we going to teach this or are we going to teach this. many of you don't agree with it the media is blasting you and all of the leaders that are burning against critical race theory. listen to this. >> governor abbott signed a law this week intended to ban critical race theory from being taught in public school even though it's not being taught in any k through 12 curriculum anywhere. including in texas. >> people, school boards,

teachers like you said are really being targeted by conservative provocateurs by parents who fueled misinformation and by people who want to really fit sit on the school board. >> this is a parent led grassroots level it's manufactured and then sort -- the fire was lit. >> i disagree. steve: he disagrees. and a lot of you do as well. in the battle against critical race theory, that is going on at the grassroots level right now and we have shown you a lot of the back and forth at the school district level the anti-critical race side is winning. 9 p.r. war where a lot of parent are watching and they are going, you know, i don't like that either. so that explains why the loudoun county democratic side is going bus people in who are on their side to -- they are going to show up at the school board meeting about a half an hour before the meeting and then i'm sure they are going to be invited to go on in and during

the public comments hey, why don't you tell people what you think about critical race, you are for it. brian: here's the tweet. loudoun democrats were making #loudoun for all safe and responsible for support bus for loudoun family, join alongside teachers and parents one of three stops reserve your seat today. ian pri on our show prior to being caught up from this tornado which is critical race theory said this for parents: >> this is about a parent's movement to take back our school. to say get a seat at the table with how our schools are run. you have special interest. you have activists. that's the only groups they seem to listen to whereas parents show up every day to try and make their voices heard and we get ignored. and when we start to make an impact, that's when you get the hit pieces coming, that's when you get the people being bused in. that's when you get all the special interest and special groups that come in.

they are all against the parents. ainsley: so on that tweet. the tweet was from loudoun democrats that brian just read you. three stops, they will pick you up, make a small donation and they will bus you in. do you know why? because we continuously show these soundbites of these school board meetings. and you have moms and dads up there at the microphone saying we do not want you to teach our children to be judged on the color of their skin. we want them to love everybody. our kids aren't seeing color. they continue to hear those soundbites and now they are seeing we have got to gather people no matter where you are, if you are in the area jump on our bus and come in and support our side. steve: because the administrators, they hear only one side, they say. >> they just hear the parents going oh, we think it's a terrible idea. they -- the democrats, want to bring in the other side so that it balances it out. because right now the administrators are having to cave and they don't like that. brian: do you know who else is coming to the media equity loudoun, planned planned parenthood advocates of virginia and equality virginia.

brian green votey bachmann jr. wrote a book about this. he was outside the country and came back and critical race theory. it's not about race it's about marxism, listen two of the best sellers angelo antiwhite fragility and contend i did. using books and looks like them in order to promote the ideology but they don't use name. therefore, the idea that things happen based on merit according to cr. >> it is a complete farce that i am game is rigid. america is racist everywhere all the time. brian: two things he did there, what he is trying to say is when you subscribe to critical race theory you are not saying that you are study about race in earthquake in. you are studying about how you

are never going to make it depending on the color of your skin or your gender. you are going to be held back. so it's time to stand up, speak out and make, i guess, in almost every case, white males apologize. he says meritocracy and everything about democracy do not gel with critical race theory. it's not about knowing history. the other thing is he fights back against people who say this is a culture war financed by republicans to win an election he says look at the top two best selling books in the country. white fragility and the other book talk about critical race theory in different ways. so the republicans would have to write the book, buy the book, and then come up with a strategy to beat the book. it's impossible. and i hope chuck todd is listening. ainsley: he is also a pastor and his book "fault lines" is doing well in the christian circuit right now. steve: meanwhile take you out to silverton, colorado where out of nowhere mayor shane ferman decided at the board of trustee

meetings which apparently he presides over, there would no longer be a pledge of allegiance said. he suspended it he said due to direct and indirect threats, comments in and out of public meetings and general divisiveness and issues created in our community. so he said we're just not going to do it anymore. then one of the board of trustees said you can't do that. and he goes well, show me where i can't do it. and then you do you know what? some people in the room just stood up and started doing the pledge but then he, the mayor, tried to end it. watch. >> you two direct and indirect threats inappropriate comments in and out of public meetings and general divisiveness creating in our community we will not be doing the pledge of allegiance during town of silverton board of trustee meetings. >> it's been done for a long time. >> i understand. >> we all took an oath. we as a board collectively decided it would be done. >> this is not up for discussion at this moment. >> i would like to stand for the pledge of allegiance.

i pledge of allegiance i pledge allegiance to the united states of america. >> i note that's out of order. we do have a one strike policy. i'm not going to ask everywhere to leave tonight but if something like that happens again we will. steve: that's great. the woman who led that marlee bore rella to tell members of the public they are not allow to say the pledge during public comment and threaten to have them moved that is one strike and out that policy violates every single one of their first amendment rights. i got a feeling even though shane ferman the mayor says they are not going to do that anymore. they are probably going to do that every time. ainsley: good for them. good for them. is he worried about hurting someone's feelings to say the pledge of allegiance. steve: whore the people who are complaining? ainsley: i don't know. steve: app anonymous complains. ainsley: or are they really there? he doesn't want to hurt their feelings? what about the feelings of the gold star families lost loved ones fighting for country. where is his allegiance to them.

mexico is to say yeah we will have an investigation. how much does he really want to investigate the cartels? >> i think it's very easy. everybody knows it's cartel-related. they can investigate and they really should. we need to get to the root of this issue. and a lot of the times like it's starting to get word it's now drug related, immigration related. nowadays this might be a little more profitable human smuggling than it is in drugs in the drug trade. the lines start to blur over in mexico. steve: sure. well, you know, we have been doing stories on this program about how crime is surging here in new york city and across the united states as well. so it's not surprising that it's happening in mexico. but, there in mcallen, where you are right across the river from this big metropolitan area where these killings happen, what is the migrant flow like

now because we have heard the last couple of days it sound like the administration is going to end title 42. and that was when people would come across and they would go okay, we would like to come into the united states but the federal government would say no, there's a pandemic going on. you have got to turn around for safety reasons. but now because so many people are getting the shots and they are vaccinated and death rate is going down they are going to go, do you know what? come on back. >> well, we are starting to have issues, as a matter of fact, here in mcallen we have two international bridges you have got to go. every day the border about 10 or 12 miles from here. every at a under we process about 500 plus immigrants kailey. they are transported to the city mcallen the bus station where they are once again processed. assisted by catholic charity and ultimately the next day transported out. we don't have too much of an issue of immigrants staying. it's pretty orderly.

what we don't like first of all the mere fact of immigration it's not legal. and second our texas pairs should not be spending any money on the federal issue. and currently we are. so we keep on demanding, asking washington to take care of the issue that's very important for us. steve: right. you know, xavier, you are living in for the most part a democratic area but you are a republican who won the job as the next mayor. what's going on there? historically many conservative. it's okay to say i'm republican and okay to say i'm conservative. last november the numbers went up big time and we -- they keep on increasing. competition is good in the frequent and also good in politics. we have both the republican and democrats competing like we tell our people our area that means more federal funds, more state funds, more competition.

olympic games i was like really? somebody would even possibly think of doing something like that? first of all, to represent your country is the ultimate honor can you get as an athlete. to stand on the podium and hear our anthem being played and seeing your flag being risen is an incredible honor to do something even think something like that clearly i respect everyone's opinion and right to do whatever you want to do, but to burn the american flag, to do it at the olympic games, i mean, that's -- i couldn't believe it. i honestly couldn't believe that someone would possibly even think of doing something like that. give to our servicemen and women and tell them what you are thinking of doing. i don't know. like i said, i thought it was like a prank at some point and then i followed up a little more and found out that was the thought. brian: i think about you when you are up there and playing the national anthem and afterwards you wave the whole team to join you on the podium because you

loved winning that fame and loved winning the gold and also loved winning the gold for the country. >> yeah, it's the ultimate honor. it's not a super bowl or world series or stanley cup. this is the united states. you represent every part of this country. u.s. people help support you. they give you the opportunity to be an olympic athlete, to go to the olympic games and all the hard work and sacrifices that you individually make and we as a team collectively made is an ultimate, ultimate honor, to do -- to disrespect the flag and do something like that, like i said, i just couldn't even imagine the mindset of someone thinking that made sense. brian: so, mike, she followed up i guess she is a trans athlete and set that anyone who thinks i don't care for united states is sorely mistaken. the reason i work so hard is to shol show the world that this country has morals and values that it's not all of the bad things that we're known for. i was -- my jaw dropped on that

part of the statement. i take a stand against fascism because i care about the country. what is she even talking about? >> yeah. you know, so you burn the flag? i mean, that's the statement? i mean, i just don't get it i understand how hard, you know, all of our represents work to get to the olympic games. i watched the olympic trials last night. we see after some of the races the first thing they did was grab a little american flag and wave it the athletes in the olympic games and probably 9.9% take great pride in representing the country for one person to kind of come up and make comments like that, it just -- you shake your head. it makes you wonder. brian: just contrast, too. james harden, kevin durant. hundreds of millions of dollars they said count me in for the olympics, coming off a season, two straight seasons with very little break. so there is a lot of people out there who still bleed red, white and blue. >> a lot more that do than don't. brian: read your book if you want to know what patriotism is

steve: it's 75 in washington and the showers and it looks like it's going to be rainy all day long down there. let's bring in louisiana senator john kennedy who joins us from -- i think the russell rotunda. senator, good morning to you. ainsley: good morning. >> good morning, guys. >> why are you mean republicans going to rain on the parade of the democrats by not allowing them pass the we the people act which they say is voter suppression on the part of the republicans? >> well, this is an extraordinarily cynical bill, in my opinion. even by washington standards. it's very ruthless, even by washington standards. speaker pelosi and senator schumer call it, i think, the for the people act but i think it would be more aptly described as screw the people act. it will make it much easier to

cheat in an election. and their bill does that in two ways. number one, it almost guarantees that we'll never have another election day. we'll have election months. and i think that was the genesis of a lot of concern by many people in the last election. number two, it achieves its purpose by taking elections, which are governed by the people through their state legislatures right now and gives that authority to the federal government. now, why anybody would take something that's working and give it to the federal government is beyond me. the federal bureaucracy can't even stop scam calls or spam calls. but nonetheless, if you turn our voting procedure over to the federal government, i guarantee you the first thing they are going to do is get rid of voter i.d. and i think most americans

believe that you should have to prove who you say you are when you go to vote. ainsley: so there is a new poll out, monmouth poll, you have probably seen it, 80% of the voters support having to show an i.d. going to the schools. 18% oppose. it is that why democrats are changing their tunes? stacey abrams is open to side with joe manchin, joe manchin wants you to show an idea. she all along said no i.d., no i.d. jim crow 2.0. is this why? >> yes. most americans are not morons. many of my democratic friends think they are. think they they will fall for anything. most fair minded people believe that when you go vote, you to have to prove you are who you say you are. and the suggestion that people don't have ids or can't get an i.d. is just ludicrous.

and after they, they meaning my democratic friends, saw what the american people thought, they changed their position, simple as that. brian: the dems are now going to pour $20 million into voting right initiative. they will flood the zone, expecting to lose today. and just try to drill down everyone's throats that republicans want to repress the vote and stop minorities from voting. do you believe you guys have to organize and tell what you think is the truth about your reservations about what they are doing or are you concerned about being marginalized in that simplistic way inaccurately? >> no, i'm not worried about being marginalized. i think the american people are fair minded and reasonable. they can look at this bill and see, for example, this bill, the democrats would legalize ballot harvesting, that allows a paid political operative to go if knock on your door and say i have got a ballot here let me

help you fill it out and i will turn it in for you. what could possibly go wrong? steve: no kidding. >> it ought to be illegal. it is illegal in most states, it's not illegal in california. and that's what my democratic colleagues, not all of them but many of them want to do. they want to make every state california which does everything it can to elect democrats. steve: one thing that's happening in all the states, senator, is there are a lot of employers who would like to hire people but there is such a labor shortage, the white house says it has nothing to do with that supplemental 300 bucks people are getting per week through september. there is a chicken finger joint located down in texas and they're having to -- it's called layne's the roanoke location is now open. they are having to pay teenagers $50,000 a year and training them as managers pause they can't get anybody else to work for them

because the kids are all, you know, the good jobs are all walmart and mcdonald's so they are going there. so, if this guy wants to hire people, he has to pay them $50,000 to be a manager and you're 16 years old. >> let me make sure i understand, steve, the white house is saying that the rich unemployment benefits have nothing to do. steve: nothing. >> well, they must believe you can land on the sun if you go at night, too. i mean, that's preposterous. i don't know anybody in america who believes that. i mean, people respond to incentives. and if you -- some people make a rational economic decision if you pay them more to stay home than to work, not everybody, but many people are going to make a rational economic decision i can't believe the white house said that. brian: they have to follow the data, senator. they have got to follow that

data. >> well, you know, just like nature abhors a vacuum, nature abhor as moron and that's moronic statement. that's not true. brian: senator, thanks so much. i appreciate it? >> you bet. brian: good luck in not voting for the people act. >> okay, man. brian: i don't think he is going to change his mind. steve: i don't think so either. ainsley: 49 minutes after the top of the hour if you are at home getting ready still ahead senatormaker joins us life the housing market is heating up. what's behind new bush to buy? million dollars listings. going to join us next. brian: i like that transition. ainsley: thank you ♪ i hit the ground running ♪ can i use apple carplay to put some music on? sure, it's wireless. pick something we all like. ok. hold on. what's your buick's wi-fi password? “buickenvision2021.” oh, you should pick something stronger.

ainsley: the real estate market is red hot with homes going under contract within just a few days. six days, zillow is saying. some houses in places like cincinnati, kansas city, and columbus spent an average of three days on the market before they were being sold. joining us is the star of million dollar listing new york, celebrity realtor, ryan sarant, and he is also the author of " big money energy" and came on our show when it launched good morning to you. >> good morning. how are you?

ainsley: doing well thank you so much. okay why is this? >> there's a lot of reason why the housing market is at the current state that it is. the number one reason is that there's been an unprecedented level of homes that have not been built over the last couple years, and it's not just covid. it's kind of this , the after- effect the 2008 great recession there's about 5.5 million homes in total deficit that there's demand for and covid accelerated that and you also have incredibly low inventory for entry price points and baby boomers who didn't move last year the way they typically do. all of that brings together this low inventory market we're in and makes it very very tough for buyers to find a new home. ainsley: it's interesting right after the pandemic and i don't know if this has changed you'll know more than i will about this , you could get a really good deal in new york, but prices were skyrocketing down in florida because so many new yorkers were going down there so

save on taxes and because it was opening up. what is it looking like now? where are the places to live and where are the places that you can get a really good deal? >> manhattan is still a good place to live, manhattan, brooklyn, long island city if you want to be in this location, there are still good deals, it's not like it was last year, but pricing is still relatively competitive. florida is still incredibly active, i think some of the heat has come down from earlier this year, or later last year that we saw, i mean, i personal ly sold the most expensive home in the history of florida in february for just under $140 million, but that temperature was like, but we see a lot of demand and good inventory still in places like texas and florida, due to the no income tax. ainsley: yes that's exactly right and they want cash offers and there's not a lot of inventory out there. thank you so much, ryan. your daughters precious. more "fox & friends" coming up.

tell me that is going away mid to late july and when it does it will be a "breaking point" of resources, particularly in places like the rio grande valley where smugglers continue to exploit overwhelmed agents, running rafts like this across the river, all night long. in the rgb this past weekend 178 smuggling arrests. in addition to two large surrendering groups totaling 264 of which 60 were unaccompanied children. apprehensions, by the way, included four convicted sex offenders, and a known gang member, plus, the drugs. 1.8 million in meth and marijuana seized in the span of just the past few days. this as more states are entering texas governor abbott's call for help. nebraska governor announcing he's sending state troopers saying "while the federal government has fallen short in its response, nebraska is having to step up to provide assistance to texas as they work to protect

their communities and keep people safe." nebraska joining florida and georgia have already joined this fight. finally, on the mexican side of the border, across from mcallen, in raynosa, 19 killed in cartel violence over the weekend, 15 innocent bystanders. steve, ainsley, brian? steve: griff thank you very much in fact we had the mayor of mcallen texas, on with us, talking about that particular incident. he believes it is cartel-related but at the same time, while we had him here, we talked a little bit about how many migrants are coming across and his worry, going forward because a couple of days ago we were talking here on this program about how the administration is going to end title 42, which at our southern border during the trump years, it be hey, there's a pandemic, you're going to have to turnaround to go back to mexico. now the biden administration because they are being sued bite aclu, they don't was to have to defend that policy in court, the trump policy, and so they are quietly trying to get rid of that.

ainsley: they are, to reunite the families. brian: it's such a disaster 170,000 people coming across our border every month you think that's bad? how about tens of thousands of families will now be allowed to stay, on the books is we basically have both borders shutdown. it's easier to sneak into our country from the south than be a canadian and come across our border legally because in canada , i guess they forgot to take the vaccine or tell their president to come out of the yoga position and release everybody, and let their teams play. i have no idea what's happening in canada. mexico, you aren't allowed to am could in but you're allowed to sneak in. title 42 is a blessing for this administration. if they did not learn the danger s of getting rid of the trump era policies to how it boomeranged and blew up in their face from remain in mexico to third person, now you have the title 42, if they blow this up on july 31, you are not going to believe what kamala harris is going to avoid seeing and reporting on. steve: and that is what the mayor, a republican, in clearly a democratic area, he was just elected mayor, that's

what the he told us about an hour ago. >> i need to get to the root of the issue and a lot of the times , like it's starting to get word like i say whether it's drug-related, immigration- related because nowadays this might be a little bit more profitable the human smuggling it is than the drug trade so mcallen, we have two international bridges. every day, every day, of course, the border is about 10-12 miles from here but every day under, we have about 500-plus immigrant s daily. our taxpayers should not be spending any money on a federal issue and currently we are so we keep on asking washington to take care of the issues, it's very important for us. steve: so 500 people a day are there in his town, and what do they do? they have the feds process them, so what they do is they escort them either to the bus station or the train station and then they go everywhere across

america. ainsley: i'll tell you, the mid-terms are going to be interesting because people are not in favor of this , we all have a heart for many of them. if you're an asylum seeker and you're prosecuted in your country, you're legally allowed to be here and you can come over , even if you apply, and they investigate and determine that, but just to walk over and to not follow the rules and do what everyone else has done we're seeing gas prices going up , we're seeing people the majority of america even the democrats say they want you to have to show an id when you go and vote. the democrats that are on the hill right now they don't want that. it's going to be interesting, because and then critical race theory in our schools, we've gone so far to the left on this. kamala harris won't go down there to the border. now she's passing this , she's in charge of this child tax credit plan, where parents under a certain amount of money will get $3,600 a child. so are people going to have more kids just so they can get more money? are these illegal immigrants who might come over and are on the books and do pay taxes are they going to get this credit too? are all of their children going

to get this credit? these are all the questions and all the concerns of americans, did i mention high gas prices? steve: you did. brian: and inflation. ainsley: and inflation. steve: well kamala harris supposed to be the border czar when it comes to root issues. sheas also the point person for the administration on this child tax credit, so every child you've got under a family, making under $150,000 a year, will get $300 per-child. here she is, talking about how this is going to help everybody yesterday in pittsburgh. >> here is the drum roll. the american rescue plan will lift half of america's children out of poverty. >> [applause] >> what we know is when more families know about the relief that is included in the american rescue plan, when more families know about how they can get the relief, that is how we will lift up our nation's middle class as well.

the increase and the expansion of the child tax credit is one of the most important, one of the most impactful parts of the american rescue plan. on child tax credit awareness day, we are getting the word out about this tax relief. steve: okay, so the way, look, she's the point person on that. she had a prepared speech. it was supposed to make it sound great. charles payne was with us about an hour and a half ago. he has a contrary view to this child tax credit. listen. charles: this aims to pay people extra money for not working and this is where it becomes very dangerous, steve. it doesn't replace anything. if you're on medicaid, if you're on wic, food stamps, of you get section 8 housing it doesn't impact any of that. you don't have to work. you don't have to try to work. you start to do the math on this , it becomes a very

attractive alternative to try to make it in a society. what you're doing is you're saying i'm going to give up all my hope, dreams and ambitions for these paychecks that come in all the time and i'll vote for the people who give them to me. steve: he said more than once, government should not be paying people to have children because the more children you have the more $300 a month you get , and joe biden, while this is temporary, would like to make it permanent. ainsley: wow. brian: and that's his big push and this has gotten extreme and it's all part of redistributing wealth, in this case, money we don't have, we're at $33 trillion in debt we're print ing in order to give out but its already passed with his pandemic relief bill that we didn't need that he jammed down our throats when he first took office. steve: the american rescue bill, according to them, they are rescuing america. ainsley: how many of you would love to have more children but you can't afford it? i have a friend here at fox and he says i wish i would have had more children, we can't afford it, schools are expensive in new

york, we don't want to spend them to public schools because the schools aren't good, i can't afford to have another child but his taxes are going to pay for people to have another child , another child, another child, to get more and more money. steve: he should move to new jersey. the public schools are really good. ainsley: but the taxes are really high there. you basically pay for private school there. brian: meanwhile 12 minutes after the hour here is another story with the olympics coming up soon in tokyo, they are going to allow about 10,000 people maximum depending on the arena, to go see these games. steve: if vaccinated. brian: so we're going to get a chance to watch olympics games so one person in particular, he is a, she is a trans athlete, and she's a bmx'er, and she made as an alternate as a bmx free style rider and back on march 25, she had a very, i think, abhorent post on facebook steve: she has since deleted it this was a year ago she posted "

my goal is to win the olympics so i can burn a u.s. flag on the podium." this is what they focus on during a pandemic. hurting trans children. well after that was dug up, she responded a query from fox news asking what are you talking about there, and she said this. "anyone who thinks that i don't care about the united states is sorely mistaking. one of the reasons why i work so hard to represent the u.s. in international competition is to show the world that this country has values and morals and it's not all of the bad things that we are known for " whatever that -- brian: thanks appreciate that. steve: i take a stand against fascism because i care about this country. ainsley: wow that's the greatest honor to be an olympic athlete. you can't get farther than that in our country, and -- brian: i think she's referring to the fact that a lot of people this new zealand athlete is going to go in, was a male weight lifter and now is a female weight lifter and she made the olympic team and that's

pretty much what they are saying if you're a trans athlete and you compete against other women you're hurting other women who are competing who can't compete against men but can compete and excell against women. ainsley: well the international olympic committee says those who transition from male to female are eligible to compete. they must demonstrate her total testosterone level is below a specific measurement for at least 12 months prior to the first competition and they go on to say the sporting objective is and remains the guarantee a fair competition but that's not really the discussion here. the discussion is this is a person representing the united states of america and wants to burn the flag or wanted to burn the flag at one point. maybe deleting the post maybe she has changed her mind, maybe she realizes after all the backlash, how grateful she should be to live in this country. brian: don't judged by that statement. ainsley: there are bad things that happened here but despite that i'm still an american. brian: mike rizoni who participated in the olympics as

an amateur, didn't get paid, and they went on to beat finland and arguably the greatest single game, two games. steve: miracle on ice. brian: in the history of olympic competition and he got up this morning to weigh in on those posts. >> the ultimate honor, it's not a super bowl or a world series or a stanley cup. this is the united states. you represent every part of this country. the u.s. people help support you they give you the opportunity to be on olympic athlete and to go to the games and all of the hard work and sacrifices that you individually make and we as a team collectively made is an ultimate, ultimate honor and to do it, to disrespect the flag and do something like that, like i said, i just couldn't even imagine the mindset of someone thinking that made sense. ainsley: i can't even imagine what that would look like if she stood at the podium and got into the olympics, and she did compete and gets the gold and stands on the podium and burns the flag? brian: are we going to have to worry about that with every single winner this time? every single winner taking and

running off refusing to appear, taking the gold medal or the silver medal and tossing it i mean is that what we'll have to worry about this olympics? steve: it's a whole new world. ainsley: crazy times. brian: never acceptable. steve: it's different, that's why we brought it to you. all right, 8:15 now here in the east, and jillian joins us with more news. jillian: good morning so let's begin with this because there is shocking video showing here we go, a woman, dancing on top of an ambulance, as it responds to a shooting during oakland's juneteenth celebration watch. the crowd becoming unruly when paramedics arrived. one person died, five others are recovering. the victims range in age between 16 and 27. the investigation is ongoing. >> turning now to fox weather 40 million americans are on alert for severe storms across the northeast. this system is the same one that

spauned an ef-3 tornado in the chicago suburbs injuring at least eight people and causing widespread damage. this is unbelievable video showing house after house, wreck ed by the twister's fury. tornadoes were also reported in michigan, iowa, indiana, and ohio. >> supreme court justices side with former college players in a dispute with the ncaa over athlete's pay. the court upholding a ruling that gives an incremental increase in how college athletes can be compensated. a number of states already passed a legislation that will allow athletes to profit off endorsements. and a florida high school principal goes above and beyond for his seniors who spent their final years of school isolated because of the covid pandemic. jeff reeves wrote 459 personalized notes for each student on graduation day.

he spent months crafting each sentiment. the notes were waiting for students as they arrived to collect their diploma. that is incredible. steve: because he obviously knows every kid. and wrote something down and that kid will have that forever. ainsley: wonder how his hand feels this morning. jillian: i don't think he did them all in one sitting. steve: remember that day i stopped asking where your hall pass was and you said? ainsley: what would brian say? you've come a long way. brian: [laughter] jillian: please get dressed. brian: wow leave me out of this a good heartwarming story. ainsley: steve would say, you were a great student, you do everything you're told. jillian: you're so kind. everyone loves you. ainsley: everyone loves jillian, she's beautiful. steve: the producer is saying

wrap! it's only a three hour show, going to have to go, and they say thanks, jillian. jillian: no problem. steve: we should book that principal and then have a list of the students and say okay, so emily smith, what do you remember about her? brian: right test him. and blow him up. ainsley: put him on the spot. steve: meanwhile we'll put senator marco rubio on the spot next on his push to sanction china for failure to come clean about the origins of covid and the florida senator is joining calls to let a former navy football team captain delay his military service to play in the nfl. cameron kinley is going to join us with his plea to get his game on. ainsley: look at that uniform. isn't it gorgeous?

involved in this research, we cutoff any and all federal funding for any research that gain of function or anything like it, in conjunction with any of these agencies over there. look, we already know enough about what happened in china. i think, as to tell you they've done something wrong which is they haven't allowed the world to fully understand how this thing began and they've covered it up. now what it actually leads to that's what the world needs to know because the next one could be far worse than this. coronavirus is terrible. covid has been terrible. it has killed people, you've seen what its done to our society and country and the world. the next one could be much deadlier and disruptive. people forget all this research that china does is still going on right now. as we speak, they are doing it, today. it doesn't stop. it continues. steve: it does not, but don't worry. the white house is on the case, because if china does not go along with another investigation and be more forthcoming and start spilling some beans, the white house is going to internationally isolate them. >> well, look. i mean, i think there's a couple

problems there. the first is most of the countries around the world think the way i do like i just said. steve: 100%. >> if you went around and asked them they would all say the same thing, they won't say it publicly because all these countries china has enormous leverage and they need china economically, they are smaller economies and so fourth so it takes a very forceful position on the part of the united states for other countries to be willing to step forward. there are exceptions, australia being one of them and a few others but generally speaking europe, it's not that these countries agree with china. it's that they don't want to speak up because they don't want to get hit with their own sanctions and hit economically but they need forceful american leadership in order to make these things happen. i don't think you've seen forceful american leadership on anything from the biden administration so far much less this. brian: let alone iran what they are trying to do begging to get back into a deal with one of the worst countries ever conceived, not the people but the government. senator, i remember what congress did against iran, with sanctions, that pushed the president to take action. you got this , could do that again. i sensed that if you made the

effort and i think you will, you'll get a lot of democrats on board with this. >> we're hoping to. here is the bottom line. all we're asking for is that china open up and allow a full investigation, because this is not just about punishing china what happened in the past, okay? this is about preventing it from happening again, for all we know , at this very moment, the next great pandemic is being developed inside of a chinese laboratory and they are doing it because they want to develop a vaccine or a cure, but the thing infects somebody that works in that lab and they take it out and now the whole world gets hit. i'll remind everybody, coronavirus is bad, there are worse things out there that could leak out if that's the way this happens. the world needs to know because this is not a china issue. this is a global issue. brian: if they didn't lie to us we would have known what was going to hit us we would have had a test ready but they did. british scientist peter dazak has been removed from the covid commission. this guy is an embarrassment you watch him on 60 minutes lie through his teeth saying i believe the chinese even though i didn't see anything directly. every time he talks, there's

some type of a agenda there and he's got direct links to the wuhan lab. now, he admits there might have been bats there when he said there were no bats there. this is long overdue. >> yeah, sometimes these guys like to play god, and so what they don't, they want to do their research because three know what's good for humanity and they convince themselves of the position they are from and in and so what happens is now they are fearful, oh, my gosh we don't want this thing linked back to the kind of research we do, so let's do everything possible to sort of steer people away from it and cover it up and that's what this guy did. he rallied a bunch of scientists who didn't disclose their conflicts and they had to come back later and force many people to disclose their conflicts including him. steve: one of the things you're working on, you're asking the president of the united states for a waiver, so that a football star at the navy, the academy, navy star cameron k inley can play for the buccs. he needs a waiver and by the way the fed is going to join us in about 20 minutes or so.

ainsley: because just of the military service. steve: right exactly, so any inclination that joe biden will sign that? >> i don't know yet. the white house has been non- committed so we don't know yet but here is the bottom line. people got to do it last year. there are people playing in the nfl, malcolm perry that came out of the navy plays for the miami dolphins so this sounds arbitrary where like last year, you graduated last year they let you do it if you graduate this year you're not. he's not saying he's not going to do his service. i also think this is good for the service academy. there's a lot of young men and women who hope they might have a career in athletics who say look in the off chance that i get drafted or i get a chance to play professional sports, the reason i don't want to go to the academy is i have to forfeit that right now four years ahead of time so i think that allowing this young man to play isn't just fair, because he's going to do his service and live up to his commitment but allowing it is not just fair but good fort academy and make it easier for me and my colleagues here, to find young men and women to step forward, and be willing to be nominated and go to the service academies. ainsley: it be so wonderful if

joe biden would give him that opportunity. he might not get an opportunity like this again and he's going to serve and join us later on in the show. thanks for doing that that's very nice of you. steve: thanks senator. >> thank you. ainsley: still ahead, holidays are back on the calendar avenue jersey parents stood up to their school board in a contentious emergency meeting. we're going to talk to two of the dads celebrating their win coming up next. >> ♪ ♪

steve: well, we've been telling you about this and now, some good news. a new jersey school board has reversed plans to removal holiday names from their school calendar after parents expressed outrage at an emergency meeting on that dumb decision. >> i think some forget that ones own agenda or beliefs may not be what is good for the betterment of the community and education of our children. >> we do care about diversity and inclusion but this is not the way. >> they pledge the allegiance to the flag and they take it off the calendar. >> your actions have me the

laughing stock of the nation steve: two parents from randolph township in new jersey join us right now. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. steve: so tom, you started this a week or so ago, calling for the resignation of all of the school board members, and for some strange reason, they got the message. the participants in that school district did not think that that was a good idea. >> that's correct. i mean, they got the message. they reversed course on their decision, which is very much appreciated. there were no resignations which is a little surprising because truth be told they've lost the trust of our community, and feel between a mixture of their arrogance and in competence that they aren't really the best people to proceed forward in helping to rebuild and help our community heal. steve: when they came up with the decision, tom, to get rid of the names it was a majority decision. yesterday, the vote was 8-1, so obviously, they realized hey wait a minute, those are the people we represent, and they're all really angry at me,

right, tom? >> you would think that. there was actually quite a bit of discussion leading up to that vote to get to that point, wherefore a while it seemed like they actually might reverse course and keep the holidays on the calendar, so i'm glad where calmer minds prevailed and it was well thought out and they moved forward with the path they did. steve: you're talking about the discussion the school board members had about the backlash from the meeting last night. we've got a little of that. let's watch. >> i regret that this issue is so upsetting to so many and has shown a negative light on our town. >> what started with the best intention became political. >> the superintendent, administrators and personnel are being unfairly and inappropriate ly -- >> it is important to recognize and learn from our community as a whole not just the vocal loudest people. >> i don't think us going down the aisle of status quo is right i think we really need to

investigate this. >> [applause] steve: okay, so, james, one of the speakers there said it is important to recognize to learn from our community as a whole, not just the loudest people. you are one of the loudest people but ultimately, you know, it's supposed to be a majority win, isn't it? >> it is, and i hope the lesson that everyone is seeing from this not just from our town but across the country it's not about being the loudest to get your way but learning this needs to be a transparent, accountable and collaborative process with the town you live in and that's one of the biggest messages we were giving the board last night consistently across 40 different speakers and that's what they really need to come and think about as we move forward. steve: james one of the things is they decided to get rid of all of the holiday names because they said initially, you know, some of these names really upset people, or trigger people, but how does memorial day trigger anybody or how does the 4th of july trigger anybody?

they didn't really articulate well why they should get rid of all of the holiday names in randolph high school and instead , just say "day off." >> yeah, it's a really concerning point, right, steve i think that's what got a lot of people excited is it seems there was a huge lack of awareness or something else going on there. i personally lost my first cousin in iraq that was killed in action so if memorial day is a very important for me personal ly, and it is for a lot of folks and veterans. i think what the senator made a great point to say listen, the importance of days off, if you eliminate this , take 10 years out and there's no calendars for our kids to learn from, how do we teach american tradition in the schools that we can then talk about at the family table at home? it was such a good point. i think that's the underlying tone here. steve: clearly the parents there , like the movie network they were as mad as hell and they weren't going to take it anymore. tom and james thank you very

much for joining us after a very busy yesterday. >> thank, steve. >> thank you, steve. steve: there you go. they won. all right, up next, officers in illinois standing up to defend the thin blue line patch they wear on their uniforms fighting back against accusations that it is a divisive symbol. >> it does not represent hate. >> we are good people. we are here to serve and protect shingles? oh... you mean bill. he's been a real pain. again with the bill... what? it looks like a face. ...hearing about it 24/7 is painful enough... i don't want to catch it. well, you can't catch shingles, but the virus that causes it may already be inside you. does that mean bill might have company? - stop. you know shingles can be prevented. shingles can be whaaaaat? yeah prevented. you can get vaccinated. oh, so... i guess it's just you, me and bill then. i'm making my appointment. bill's all yours... 50 years or older? get vaccinated for shingles today.

>> i invite those people to come to a ride along with us, spend some time with us, hear our point of view and maybe they can understand that the symbolism, behind the thin blue line what it actually means to us. ainsley: i want to show you the statistics because crime is surging all over our country, in atlanta homicides up 50 perrer, shootings up 48%, rape is up 98% , new york city shootings are up 64%, portland 533% up for homicides, shootings up 126% and the list goes on and on, everyone can look at their screen and see that, 153 officer s and nine canine officer s have died this year alone. it is a very difficult time for officers, how do you get through this? officer shatz, i'll start with you. >> i do think it is very challenging. you know, i've been a police officer for 19 years and i just think that this is probably been

the most difficult time and really, it's just the support our family, our co-workers, we just have to persevere. ainsley: officer berg? >> well to piggyback, same thing support from the family, support from the friends but in the community we work in, we get a huge support from them on a daily basis, every day, multiple times a day. i have random citizens come up to me and say hey, i'm sorry what you're going through, and i appreciate what you're doing, don't let the negativity get you down, and that gives you a little bit more ability to keep pushing forward. ainsley: that's wonderful and officer, i know you're also a school resource officer, for prospect high school, which you're making a difference in the lives of all of those students it's wonderful. what does the thin blue line mean to you? >> well to me, it's about honor , it's about pride, it's about kinship. i even said love, i've got children, i've got family, and i think that to me, when i spoke, it was really about all of the

things that it means not only to myself, but to everybody in my family, my circle, so it's all of those things and it's just really important to us. ainsley: officer berg, you really quickly. >> it means integrity, pride, it means professionalism but more importantly, more than anything, it means symbolic for officers that have given their all and lives serving their community. ainsley: that's right. well god bless you. everyone say a prayer for them they are out on the streets protecting all of us. god bless you both thank you. >> thank you for having us. ainsley: a growing number of lawmakers are pushing for a naval academy grad to be allowed to pursue his nfl dreams for the buccs. we'll talk to a pro-football hopeful fighting for a chance to play but first let's check in with bill hemmer to find out what's coming up. hey, bill. bill: good morning to you, nice to see you hope that man wins so we'll find out a moment on that. parents pushback hard against the school board and win. we'll talk to one of them coming up. no money, no problem. california will pick-up your

>> playing in the nfl, malcolm perry that came out of the navy, plays for the miami dolphins so this sounds arbitrary, where like last year, you graduated last year they were going to let you do it, if you graduate this year you're not so i think that allowing this young man to play isn't just fair, because he's going to do a verse and live up to his commitment but allowing it is not just fair it's good for the academy and make it easier for me, and my colleagues here, to find young men and women to step forward and be willing to be nominated and go to the service academy. brian: why not? senator marco rubio making a lot of sense a short time ago telling us why he's urging president biden to issue a waiver for a am toker navy football team captain to play in the nfl with tampa bay. quarterback cameron kinley joins us now signed as a free agent after graduating from the navy academy but his dreams to go pro were cut short when the navy denied his request to delay service when the administrations changed. cameron joins us now, along with his agent, co dosh founder of

divine sports and entertainment, and ryan williams jenkins welcome to both of you men thanks for being here. >> thank you for having us. brian: so cameron, how disappointed were you to find out with the new administration came a new stance when it came to academy players going pro right away, or delaying service >> it was definitely tough when i heard the news, i thought about all of the hard work that i put into this point, and all of the adversity i had to overcome just to get this opportunity and given that people who have had this opportunity in the past and that it was not afforded to me is definitely something that i've been dealing with. brian: i understand president obama started putting into play his last year and a half and it went away with secretary of defense mattis at the time and then it changed back, so it shows there is a flexibility there and its been done before. ryan what can you actually do in a situation like this? >> yeah, so in a situation like this , we have to stick with the facts. the facts are that there's a directive in order, that cameron

kinley can use to play in the nfl and there's a precedent set last year, as you mentioned before, malcolm perry was able to play in the nfl and there's other service academy athlete the this year that are playing in the nfl under that directive so we got to stick with the facts and keep things in perspective. the acting secretary of the navy said one of the reasons he's denying this is because roger and david robinson served their commitment first but if we're really thinking about it they served over a quarter of a century ago, so we're talking about a different time, a short window of opportunity for cameron kinley to get his dream and be the ambassador for the navy, and the naval academy. brian: what about those examples of serving in vietnam and david robinson on the ship while the spurs waited for him, would two years be that big of a deal? >> i have a lot of respect for david robinson, of course they are notable graduates from the naval academy, and it shows

it's not impossible. people have done it before but i feel like things have changed, times have changed, the game is changing, my position is different, you know, so yes, i could go serve two years and come back and play, but my window of opportunity is a lot smaller than there, so i would like the opportunity to be able to play now and continue to serve afterwards. brian: so cameron, where do you stand right now? you can't really get a direct answer from the secretary of the navy, right? are you in limbo? >> yeah, definitely it's tough. kind of living a double life where i'm preparing to be an nfl player still, just in case things get reversed and i'm also preparing for my career as an officer in the navy so i'm kind of living this double life, staying hopeful, staying strong in my faith that things can get turned around. brian: cameron what do you say to people say you made your commitment, fulfill your commitment? >> i definitely made a commitment. i made the commitment when i decided to go to the naval academy. i made the commitment when i signed my contract before my junior year and i'm still willing to honor that commitment i just want to be able to delay

my commission and play in the nfl first and be that ambassador for the navy and help recruit and after my time in the nfl serve as an officer in the navy i'm definitely looking forward to that career. brian: you're just looking to delay it. ryan what would it do for the quality of the athletes going to the academy as if they knew by going it wasn't killing any hopes of going pro. not just in football, in basketball and in soccer. >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, i think this is a story of the american dream, so cameron kinley has an opportunity to do both live the american dream and play in the nfl and also serve his military. brian: i agree guys unfortunately we're out of time. ryan, best of luck, cameron we're pulling for you hopefully marco rubio still has pull in there. back in a moment. this is "fox & friends." sgt. houston. this is sam with usaa. do you see the tow truck? yes, thank you, that was fast. sgt. houston never expected this to happen. or that her grandpa's dog tags would be left behind.
